I am having a hard time posting. I get session timed out. If I preview first, I can post, but that doesn't mean something's not wrong.

Thanks,

Prytania

Me too.  Thanks for the tip about "preview," Pry.

Confused and sad. Or happy. I'm not sure...

Ditto. I can't stay logged in, and now I can't post if I manage to be logged in. Very frustrating.

Hitting "refresh" on my browser after hitting "post" worked twice for me.  (Three times if this one works!)

Aha!

It's not just me.

It's not just my computer or my wifi or the day or the hour, or anything else.

I just fussed about this on the venting thread as a P.S.

Fortunately, for anything I write that takes longer than a minute to compose, I always hit ctl-A (select All) and ctl-C (to copy it) first so if it goes away I haven't wasted that time...

Well, I nearly always remember.

But anyway, it's not just me.

I hit spell-check, which also works.

But it's sort of silly to spell-check stuff when you haven't made any spelling errors in your life since you went down in the state spelling bee on "ramshackle" in 8th grade.

Well, almost not any.

I had that problem this morning. I stumbled on the 'preview' option and was able to by-pass the problem. Seems OK now.

The "preview" trick and the "spell check" trick do not work for me.  I am using IE.  

I cannot quote other posts at all.

Preview works for me on my phone, but I also cannot quote.

I will try spellcheck next time I'm on the computer.

I'm also getting "session verification failed" when trying to report spam, and I've gotten it in the past when trying to post even though I've logged in.

I'm having the problem again. Also can't send PMs, but I posted another thread on that.
